Another painting from the Karin Jurick, DSFDF . When I saw the photo I knew I wanted to finish it before getting away for a few days. Street scenes are a challenge, but fun to look at a busy activity like this, frozen in time. New York is a 24 hour city and nothing ever stops or slows down. I tried to capture that energy with hard contrasts in the foreground, diminishing into soft hues in the distance.

Beautiful, very well done.
It works, Jerry. Nice job!
Such an incredible entry to the DSFDF challenge. Jerry, you have really captured the feel of the city, and the distance you've created in the buildings is amazing.
This is a really nice interpretation Jerry! Love the brushstrokes!!
Really like your interpretation of this challenge, the colors and the brushwork.
Vunderbar! It's gorgeous. I love the color palette you've chosen.
Beautiful work.
Gerry, this is a beautiful interpretation of the challenge. Mission accomplished.
Looking at your blog, it looks like you can paint everything well! Nice job.
Nice work, Jerry! Love those quick brush strokes to portray the reflections in the street.
Thanks to all of you that have made comments. It is always a nice confirmation to have your peers recognize what one is trying to accomplish in a painting.
What a great job, Jerry! I lived in Zionsville and worked for Lilly until we moved to Northern VA in 1997. I've never heard of Stutz, but I've been away awhile. I wish I'd known of it when I lived there!
I also like the brushwork and the atmospheric feeling. I enjoyed going through your blog. Nice work.
Wonderful work, Jerry Really successful painting!
Love the other paintings on your blog, also!
